Coventry Blaze are 48 hours away from being crowned league champions, if they can pull out all the stops and win both games this weekend.

Paul Thompson?s men must shrug off the aches and bruises they are feeling at this stage of the season and carry out the job in hand.

The excitement has been mounting among Blaze fans since Christmas, and Coventry can seal it with wins over Edinburgh tomorrow and in Dundee on Sunday.

Thompson is taking nothing for granted and is guarding against complacency when Capitals come to the Skydome at 7pm.

Edinburgh have been the surprise package this season, and have been one of just three teams to inflict a league defeat on Blaze.

Adrian Saul has risen up the goal-scoring charts, while big defenceman Jan Krajicek looks set for a place in the all-star team selected at the end of the season.

In goal Ladislav Kudrna has been solid, but occasionally let down by Edinburgh travelling with a short bench.

Blaze, who were waiting to hear if Kurt Irvine will be suspended, have to overcome Capitals then travel to Dundee for a showdown with the league champions tomorrow.

If anything, Coventry have the better of the travelling, with Dundee having to play in Guildford on Saturday.

Thompson faces an embarrassment of riches on his third line, with the option of using Irvine as a holding player, or Lee Richardson, who has given the unit an extra attacking dimension.

?Kurt gives us a different dimension because of the kind of player that he is, but the way Lee is playing right now I will have him as an option,? said Thompson.

The threat from Dundee is immense and obvious. With the return of Scott Young, last year?s playmaker, from Hull, Stars can claim to be more solid in defence than ever.

Since Blaze recovered from 4-1 down to win 6-4 at Dundee in December, Dan Ratushny has added another level to their play.

?You don?t get to be captain of Team Canada for nothing. Defensively they are a lot sounder than they were.

?But we?ve beaten them three times this season, and we can beat them again. We?ve got to worry about Edinburgh first though.

?It doesn?t matter what team is the opponent. If we play to our system then we will be very hard to beat. We know their strengths and how they play, we just have to do the job in hand. We?re not talking about the title, just focusing on the games.?
